Hi guys, these usb-uirt devices have been working well with HS3 & HS4 until the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately I can't pin down the change that broke things:
1. The HS pc had a Win10 rebuild as it was going very slowly after 24 hours.
2. The HS pc had Winver 2004 installed.
3. The PSU failed during the update ! Replaced.
4. The pc still went slowly. I figured out that the automatic page file size was too small. 1.5GB.
The last one bit me, this pc has 32GB of RAM, and doesn't use more than a third of it, but it needs a massive page file to work properly ? The www shows me that Min page file size should be 1.5x RAM, and that is 48GB ? I set it to 10GB-20GB, and the pc seems to work properly. Grr...
Anyway, with Winver 2004, it would detect the usb-uirt (in Device Manager) as a usb device with unknown id (and call it that), and HS could not use it. Didn't it show it as a Usb-Uirt before ? If I forced the pc to use the driver that worked a few weeks ago, the pc crashed. At that stage, I tried HS on a different Win10 pc, which did the same thing. Back to the main pc. OK, Acronis, take me back in time. At least Acronis worked; the Usb-Uirt still didn't work. Various images tried, and all the same - no Usb-Uirt. Ah, maybe the Usb-Uirt got fried when the psu failed ? OK, try my spare Usb-Uirt = same. Not even showing up in Device Manager as an unknown device now.
I've been battling issues with other pc's at the same time, and only now have time to think a little. So what went on here ? Does the Usb-Uirt driver work with Win10 ver2004 ? Or am i just having a really sh#tty week ?
AND, If Usb-Uirt is now dead, what can I use instead ? The Global cache plug in seems to have been dropped.
